DCEU Rumormill

>Ben Affleck has signed on for FLASHPOINT and received an offer for JUSTICE LEAGUE 2, but won’t be in Matt Reeves’ THE BATMAN.

>AQUAMAN is in post-production. WB is confident that it’ll be a critical and commercial hit. They’ve already talked with James Wan, Jason Momoa and Amber Heard about a sequel.

>WONDER WOMAN 2 is in pre-production. Patty Jenkins, Gal Gadot, Connie Nielsen, Chris Pine and Elena Anaya are returning. The movie is set during the Cold War and will feature a new male lead with a different dynamic with Diana. Pine’s role is pretty minor, probably just flashbacks.

>THE BATMAN is in script development. It’s a standalone movie with no references to the DCEU. It’ll feature a new Batman, but no actors have been approached yet. Jeremy Irons and J.K. Simmons expected to return. Reeves is going for an anachronistic Hitchcockian vibe.

>FLASHPOINT is in script development and has gone through several rewrites. Ezra Miller, Kiersey Clemons, Billy Crudup, Ben Affleck, Gal Gadot and Ray Fisher are signed out. They’re negotiating with Henry Cavill and Jason Momoa. There’s talks about replacing the Thomas Wayne Batman with Flashpoint’s Bruce Wayne to make the most of Affleck. Colin Trevorrow has recently been approached to direct the movie.

>DEATHSTROKE is in early development, with Joe Manganiello set to star. Gareth Evans in talks to direct.

>BATGIRL is in early development, directed by Joss Whedon. It’ll be a very comedic, teen-oriented movie. Whedon and WB want to cast an unknown actress. The audition process begins in May.

>NIGHTWING is in early development, directed by Adam McKay. The audition process for Dick Grayson, the female lead and the lead antagonist begins in May. Batman probably won’t appear.

>The ELSEWORLDS banner is in early stages of planning, won’t become reality until 2021 in the earliest. The only prospective projects so far are Todd Phillips’ THE JOKER (not starring Jared Leto) and Matthew Vaughn’s SUPERMAN: RED SON (not starring Henry Cavill).

>JUSTICE LEAGUE 2 is not in development, but WB wants it. They’ve decided to move away from Zack Snyder’s Darkseid storyline and center on the Injustice Gang. The project’s fate hinges on Affleck. If he signs on, it’ll be fast-tracked. If he doesn’t, they’ll have to go back to formula to account for his absence.

>JUSTICE LEAGUE DARK, GOTHAM CITY SIRENS, CYBORG, DEADSHOT, JOKER VS. HARLEY QUINN, LOBO and BOOSTER GOLD have been put in the backburner. They’re not scrapped, but they’re also not in development, so that WB can focus on the priority movies to rebrand the DCEU again.

>WB expected JUSTICE LEAGUE to be a trainwreck, that’s why they kept AQUAMAN as their only DC-related release for 2018 and shifted the release date to December. They want to distance themselves from what came before to effectively relaunch the DC Cinematic Universe under a new vision.

The guy rates WW beneath MoS and JL (and even BvS). He's got some work to do before I can give him credence.

don't we can just hand out credence to anybody here. my point was his theories sounds better than

screw his reviews. only thing he got right was SS being lowest. don't know why everybody is so obsessed with having a flashpoint movie in a universe that's barely been made yet.

That's the estrogen talking in you, sweetie. Can you make an argument as to why it was better besides that it was directed by a brave, strong, independent woman and had a diverse cast of brave, strong, independent women?

nah Jowy. i think WW was a much better origin movie. it sets out to do what it wants to do without trying to make it look like the world is forcing her to become a hero. she becomes a hero because she wants to. much more faithful to the source material when it comes to her character as well. i don't dislike the new Supes, and i think Zod >>>>>>>>>>>> Ares, but as a whole movie. WW was better

Still no argument. You didn't explain why these movies are bad or good on their own merits as movies.

So what you are saying Wonder Women isn't Superman? That she is a different person with different upbringing, different experiences and different approach? Wow, brilliant analysis. You should become a film critic.

I'm no comic book expert but as far as I know there are dozens of different remakes, reboots and origin stories for every super hero. From Superman's wiki page:

Why? That's what I want to hear from you, since you made the claim.

hmm, i think it's better if you tell me why MoS and BvS is better than WW. i will also answer what you just asked after that, i promise.
